Interview and Selection Process:

  • Applications will be reviewed once all the requirements listed above have been received by the program through ERAS.

In addition, they will have the opportunity to attend our Infectious Diseases Grand Rounds where experts on infectious diseases, immunology and microbiology are invited.
